Our Wedding

Samuel and Sara met the summer of 2021 at Rock River Christian Camp in Polo, Illinois. They worked three summers at the camp and began dating the last summer. They became close friends through working together. Sara was a cook in the kitchen and Sam worked on the maintenance/life guarding staff. They have done long-distance dating almost their entire relationship varying from 1 hr and 45 min apart to 9 hrs apart while the two have been finishing up college, internships, and jobs. Sam enjoys weight lifting, snowboarding, and football. He is finishing up his senior year at St. Xavier University studying Exercise Science and getting his degree in Strength and Conditioning. Sara enjoys going to the gym, food, and swimming. She graduated with her Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics and is currently working in Iowa City as a Registered Dietitian. They got engaged June 1, 2025 at the Michigan dunes. They love each other dearly and are so excited to start this new journey of marriage together.
